Our local Springfield and East Lane County teams have been restoring fire damage for residents of Pleasant Hill for many years. Electric stovetops are common in modern kitchens, offering convenience and efficiency. However, like any electrical appliance, they can malfunction and pose a fire hazard if improperly maintained or used. One of the primary culprits is malfunctioning electric coils on stovetops.

A malfunctioning coil can overheat or fail to regulate temperature correctly, potentially igniting nearby flammable materials such as grease or food spills. This can quickly escalate into a kitchen fire, endangering occupants and causing significant property damage.

To reduce the risk of stovetop fires, it's essential to inspect coils regularly for signs of wear or damage, such as discoloration or sparking during use. Stovetops should also be cleaned regularly to remove grease buildup, which can act as fuel in case of a fire. Additionally, never leave cooking unattended, especially when using high-heat settings.

By staying vigilant and practicing proper maintenance and cooking safety, homeowners play a crucial role in preventing stovetop fires and can enjoy the benefits of electric stovetops with peace of mind.
